Sheikha Rabia and Animals

 Sheikha Rabia Basri sat in the wilderness, and animals would gather around her.

Sheikh Hasan al-Basri came to visit, and the animals fled.

Sheikh Hasan asked Sheikha Rabia: "Why do the animals gather around you, but they flee when I come?"

Sheikha Rabia asked Sheikh Hasan: "What did you have for breakfast?"

Sheikh Hasan confessed he had eaten meat for breakfast.

 

May all beings be well and happy.
